Kira Reborn
Prologue
Light's face didn't change as he began to fall to his knees; he hit the ground and fell forward on his hands. He was drenched in sweat, he felt like he had no breath, his throat was dry, his mouth wide open, his eyes wide with fear. He grabbed his chest as if he were having a heart attack. What was going on? Didn't he just die? He did. But no… wait. The fear dissolved and relief washed over him as he sat back up. "I'm alive." He breathed, feeling around his body to make sure it was real. "Yes, Yagami Light. You are." A female's voice answered from behind. Light turned around and looked up to see a pale woman in her young twenties , brown eyes, and brown hair that stopped just beneath her shoulder blades. She wore a black corset, fishnet gloves, a layered black satin skirt that went down to her mid thigh, fishnet stockings, and black high-top converse. Light stared at her for a moment before standing up. "What did you do to me?" He asked accusingly. Her brown eyes were pleading. "To warn you. Please, don't use the Note. Throw it away. Just don't become Kira." He narrowed his eyes. He was still shaken though his face didn't show it. "Why are you warning me?" He asked her. She sighed, "My reasons are selfish, Yagami Light." She said, admittedly. Her face began to burn as she blushed, looking at the ground embarrassingly. He looked at her perplexed, his eyes still narrowed. "What did you do to me?" He asked yet again. She sighed. "I cannot explain, Yagami Light." He closed his eyes as he snorted at her reply. When he opened them again she was gone. Light stood there alone, in the old warehouse yard, staring at the building where his life had 'ended' only moments ago. He wondered how that could have happened, how his life could have literally flashed in front of his eyes. How he could have felt everything from that instance: the physical being, the emotion, the sensations; it was like he was there living his whole life through a second's worth of time. He shook his head and continued to walk. "I don't want to die." He confessed to himself. He went through the different situations in his mind and realized there was no way around it. Besides, looking at it from and outsider's point of view, he realized he did not want to become the person he had come to be when he took on the role as Kira and used the Death Note. He sighed as he got to the bridge, he took the Note out of his school bag, and looked down into the water. He thought about all the people he had come to know in his 'life': Matsuda, Aizawa, Mogi,Watari, Misa…and L. He thought about him the most at this moment and his heart ached as he finally decided to throw the Note into the water. As he watched the Note float away with the gentle current he smiled, and breathed a deep sigh. He was now cleansed; as a sad smile crossed his face he began to walk home as Light not Kira.
